  * Remove {{{compileToCore}}} (it says it's there for backwards compatibility only)
  * What's the deal with {{{SuccessFlag}}}?  Shouldn't that be {{{Either SomeError ()}}}?
+ * Comment in HscTypes:
+{{{
+-- If the module does come from the home package, why do we look in the PIT as well?
+-- (a) In OneShot mode, even home-package modules accumulate in the PIT
+-- (b) Even in Batch (--make) mode, there is *one* case where a home-package
+--     module is in the PIT, namely GHC.Prim when compiling the base package.
+-- We could eliminate (b) if we wanted, by making GHC.Prim belong to a package
+-- of its own, but it doesn't seem worth the bother.
+}}}
+   We now have a separate {{{ghc-prim}}} package.  Should we eliminate (b) then?
